Definition
A colorless liquid chemical compound with two chlorine atoms attached to a methane molecule, commonly used as a solvent in laboratories and industry.
Etymology
From di- (two) + chloro- (chlorine) + methane (the simplest hydrocarbon, from Greek methy 'wine' + -ane suffix for hydrocarbons). The methane part comes from its relationship to methyl alcohol.
Kelly Says
Dichloromethane can dissolve fats better than water, which is why it's used to decaffeinate coffee, but it's also absorbed through skin so efficiently that chemists have to wear special gloves—it's a chemical so useful yet dangerous that it perfectly illustrates the risk-benefit calculation in chemistry.
